For those of you that have gone on cruises...

1) where did you go?
2) did you enjoy and would you do it again?

Trying to decide if we should go on one for our honeymoon.

I've been on 3 cruises with Princess - all Caribbean. Loved them all, although the ones that go through the Gulf of Mexico tend to get a little choppier.

We're doing a Hawaiian cruise for our honeymoon with Norwegian.

MY FH went on a royal carribean cruise like that with his family. What cities are you going to?

He liekd it so much, we are goign on a caribean cruise for our HM. To the Carribean.
he convinced me, b/c I thought it might not be private enough, but he send neither is a resort, & we didn't want oto go to Europe, where I'd want to do a lot of running around, but we didn't just want to sit on a beach, we thought this was a good combination of relaxing & site seeing.

Re: For those of you that have gone on cruises...

it is mid size ship - less than 700 people - supposed to be more upper end - not so big - and lots of time in port
The one we want is 14 days and starts in london, then Belguim, amsterdam, Berlin, Helisinki,Poland, 3 days in St. Petersberg, stockholm, and a few i cannot remember - it stops in port almost every day and stays more than one day in a couple of places

It seemed like they have really nice sips and have gotten good review when i searched the internet

Re: For those of you that have gone on cruises...

I have been on several carribean and am going on one through Tahiti for my honeymoon.

I would recommend for a honeymoon. My only advice would be to go on one of the higher-end cruiselines for a honeymoon.

A Tahiti cruise is very reasonable because what is expensive there is the meals, and when you go on a cruise, all your meals are included (you could always eat on the islands if you want - but you do not have to)

Re: For those of you that have gone on cruises...

I have been on 11 cruises - mostly to the carribean but I have also been to the mediterrean.

I love celebrity but have also been on NCL and a lesser known line.

I would be happy to answer anything you want to know

Re: For those of you that have gone on cruises...

MY FH and I went on a cruise 2 years ago out of Miami going to Cozumel, Grand Cayman and Ochos Rios. We had an excellent time and we will definitley go another another cruise at some point. We're actually thinking of taking a Mediteranian or Greek Island cruise next year.

Re: For those of you that have gone on cruises...

I've been on two cruises in the past 3 years. Both went to the carribbean.

The first was on Celebrity Galaxy. Loved it. Service was awesome, food was good, rooms were nice, ship was beautiful. Only thing I didn't love was the midnight buffets, expected them to be better. But not a big deal since we felt breakfast, lunch, tea-time and dinner were great. Shows were great too.

Second cruise was this past April on the Norwegian Sky. The trip was good because we went with 4 other couples, but I the service sucked, the rooms were dingy, housekeeping was lacking. Food was okay at dinner, but breakfast was lacking. Lunch, Pizza bar and outdoor BBQ daily was also lacking. Shows were very good. Other parts of ship were beautiful.

Hope this helps!

I would also like to know more. FH and I were planning to go to Hawaii, but he doesn't want to fly for that long. Any information you have would be helpful. TIA

Re: For those of you that have gone on cruises...

FH & I did the Bermuda cruise on Princess...We were on the Pacific Princess (The LoveBoat) & there was only 600 passengers...It was amazing...

WE are doing the Disney one for Labor Day week...We absolutely love cruising!

Re: For those of you that have gone on cruises...

DH and I have been on 5 cruises together including our honeymoon cruise to the So Caribbean.

We love it (obviously!). We are going to try to go on one each year.

We really have been very happy with Carnival (4 cruises) and Royal Caribbean (1 cruise).

We have been on a cruise to Bermuda, E Caribbean, W Caribbean, S Caribbean and Bahamas.

Highly recommend!

Re: For those of you that have gone on cruises...

Been on 2
Bermuda on Celebrity Horizon
Canada on Carnival Victory

JMO:Celebrity had better service, but ship was older. Victory was newer,but the service wasn't as good. A friend of mine just came back from going on the Celebrity cruise to Alaska and said it was amazing on all aspects especailly the service!!

I would definitely do it again! Probably the one that leaves from NY to the Caribbean.
